A refined Biedermeier-era portrait of Gretchen Heithecker, née Gerold of Warburg. The sitter is dressed in a black velvet gown, complemented by a delicate blue lace bonnet and a matching lace collar, secured with a gold brooch. Jade drop earrings provide a subtle accent to her dark hair and pale skin. Her gaze meets the viewer directly, softened by a faint, poised half-smile. Unsigned. Inscribed verso. Beautifully presented in an ornate gilt frame. On paper laid to panel.
Condition
